How to unlock the The bigger they are... achievement in Zombie Army 4: Dead War - Definitive Guide

Credit to @Tostiee for this comment on another guide. I was following the other guide but the achievement didn't pop.

The metal zombies don't work as they must not be considered heavies. To get this you can grind out a few kills from flamers or butcher maulers. I had killed one butcher mauler in horde on level 5 or 6 but found it to be faster to just replay the below start of chapter.

In death canal chapter 2 a flamer starts very early. Start out crossing the bridge in front of you and kill 10 zombies to build up your takedown. Continue forward past the bridge and a flamer will spawn in front of you coming out of the building wall. Deliver several body shots being sure to avoid headshots and the tank and he will go down to his knees. Headshots or a tank explosion will kill the enemy without the possibility of a takedown. Rush forward and deliver the takedown. A checkpoint is hit so restart at safe room and repeat 4 more times.

Thank you for the clarification! I must have taken down 10 metal zombies and wondered why nothing was unlocking but now I know why!

This is easy to do just go to horde mode and set the starting wave to wave 4 and set the zombie spawn count to just 1 player then start the game and get your 10 shot combo and you will have a heavy/elite zombie and once you knock that zombie down run up to it and assassinate it by pressing the A button then after that just keep restarting after you assassinate the zombie. You can do this with the same enemy 5 times as that's how I got mine.


GOOD LUCK

This appears to be glitched for me, as I have done many taken downs on those metal zombies and never gotten this achievement.

These metal zombies indeed don't work. In death canal chapter 2 at the start spawns a flamer. When you go over the bridge kill a few zombies until you have the takedown. Then walk forward a bit and a flamer should break through the wall in front of you. Once you kill him with the takedown just reload the checkpoint and repeat until you have it.

Maybe the requirements has been patched with the latest updates, because I took down several metal zombies, more than 15 metal guys (like Kanchanaburi ) and this achievement didn't pop.
As I took a look in the Sticker Album, the metal guys doesn't count as heavy enemy.
Heavy enemys are the flamer, the machine gunner and the Metzler (Butcher).

I tried to take down these 3 kinds of enemys, but without succes (a button didn't appear for a take down). I guess this have to be possibe, cause I saw a weekly challenge for taking down a Metzler (butcher).

Edit:

After a bunch of bullets, the heavy guys fall down on their knees for a few seconds. this is your chance to do a take down.

To perform a takedown on a heavy you first have to shoot it enough to get it to go to it's knees. You press the button once you've filled your takedown meter by achieving a killstreak of 10 and once it's on it's knees go up to it and press You need to use the takedown on a total of 5 heavies. Heavies in the game include:

  • Chainsaw Zombies
  • Minigun Zombies
  • Flamethrower Zombies

The description for the achievement is not correct, you need to carry out 5 reprisals against zombie bosses (butcher, flamethrower, machine gunner or screamer).
